Singer Sala is releasing an album for the first time in about two years. She also has a solo concert scheduled for next January.

Sala is a singer who has garnered attention for her R&B- and hip-hop-based sound and her crystal-clear vocals. As she continues to expand her range of activities—including appearances at events like “Roll & Bounce” and “Local Green Fes,” both organized by SIRUP—she is set to release her second album, *Low Tide*, her first in about two years.

This album, featuring a total of 11 tracks, includes contributions from Goro Kumai, VivaOla, and me-mai. The tracklist combines songs from last year’s EP *High Tide* and previously released tracks that were released as singles this year, along with the newly recorded “Blue Ocean” and “Nostalgia.” True to Sala’s Shonan roots, her airy and smooth sound is grounded in R&B and pop. She weaves together these 11 tracks—which range from cool and stylish to emotional—with her vocals, showcasing a wide range of expressions.

Embedded in this work is a “warm, welcoming place” where one can accept oneself as one is and always return, no matter how rough the waves may be. It also embodies the inner strength to venture out from there into the vast ocean beyond. The gentle, drifting sounds allow us to embrace the fluctuations of daily life while sensing a fresh sea breeze that propels us forward.

To coincide with the album's release, the lead track from the albumThe lyric video for "Blue Ocean" has also been released. In addition, a solo concert featuring this album has been scheduled for Friday, January 15, 2027, at “ADRIFT” in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. We invite you to experience the new soundscapes that Sala is creating today through both her music and her live performances.
